Lambda-Cyhalothrin 4.9% CS or (Karate) is a CS formulated Insecticide, where the active ingredient is encapsulated in microcapsules suspended in water on application. The Microencapsulation controlled-release technology by the manufacturers ensures the active ingredient is released upon drying on the target surface, providing prolonged residual activity and effective pest control. This insecticide is also called as Warrior by suppliers as it is a non-systemic insecticide with contact and stomach action, highly effective against a large range of pests in various crops. Lambda-Cyhalothrin 4.9% CS is used for controlling a variety of insect pests (Bollworms, Stem borers, Leaf folders, Fruit borers) in various crops (Cotton, Paddy (Rice), Brinjal (Eggplant), Okra, Tomato) . The encapsulated formulation provides extended residual activity, reducing the frequency of applications. Lambda-Cyhalothrin 4.9% CS method is under CIPAC guideline. This formulation also has Rainfast Technology: Maintains effectiveness after drying, minimizing performance loss from rain.

Chemical Properties & Specifications
Warning
H302: Harmful if swallowed H315: Causes skin irritation H319: Causes serious eye irritation H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects
P264: Wash hands thoroughly after handling P273: Avoid release to the environment P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection
LD₅₀ (oral, rat): 56 mg/kg LD₅₀ (dermal, rat): >2000 mg/kg
Highly toxic to aquatic organisms; avoid contamination of water bodies
Effective against bollworms, stem borers, leaf folders, thrips, pod borers, and fruit borers
Suitable for use in cotton, paddy, okra, brinjal, chilli, tomato, soybean, grapes, cardamom, and pomegranate
Works by affecting the nervous system of insects via ingestion or direct contact
Compatible with IPM programs and rotation strategies for resistance management
Maintains activity post-application due to encapsulated release mechanism
Reduced exposure risk due to encapsulation of the active ingredient.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep containers tightly closed.
100 mL 250 mL 500 mL 1 L 5 L
2 years from the date of manufacture under recommended storage conditions.
Meets international standards for agrochemical packaging.
It acts on the nervous system of insects, disrupting the function of voltage-gated sodium channels, leading to paralysis and death.
The microencapsulated formulation ensures controlled release of the active ingredient, providing prolonged residual activity and reducing the frequency of applications.
While it has reduced impact due to controlled release, it is still toxic to non-target organisms. Application should be timed to minimize exposure to beneficial insects.
No, Lambda-Cyhalothrin is a synthetic pyrethroid and is not approved for use in organic agriculture.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, protective clothing, and eye protection. Avoid inhalation and contact with skin and eyes.
Lambda-Cyhalothrin 4.9% CS controls broad spectrum of insect pests such as Bollworms, Stem borers, Leaf folders, Fruit borers, Thrips, Flea beetles, Pod borers, Shoot and capsule borers, Semiloopers, Stem flies.
The crops are Cotton, Paddy (Rice), Brinjal (Eggplant), Okra, Tomato, Grapes, Chilli, Soybean, Pomegranate, Cardamom.
FAO/WHO Specifications: Complies with FAO and WHO specifications for lambda-cyhalothrin formulations.
